Ventura County pet of the week: Sprinkles is a female Chihuahua mix with a cute black and brown mask

Sprinkles weighs only about 11 pounds and is just 3 years old, with a cute black and brown mask on her face and black freckles all over her short, white fur.

Sprinkles is a unique mix, maybe a Chihuahua mix. She is fun-loving and happy. She loves to romp and play with the other small dogs.

Sprinkles was at a very noisy and busy event and she did not bark even once. She loves when people visit with her, pet her, hold her, and let her kiss them. Sprinkles is so tiny that she is afraid around big dogs, but she does very well with other small dogs. She has been wonderful when visiting with children.

The Ventura County Animal Services shelter in Simi Valley now has public adoptions. You can meet Sprinkles there. She is in Kennel 904 and her ID is A555914. The Simi Valley shelter is at 670 W. Los Angeles Ave. Public adoption hours are from noon to 4 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays. Visit http://www.vcas.us to see more pets available through Ventura County Animal Services.
